Review
Light cycle oil (LCO) is a poor diesel blending component. The light cycle oil was upgraded through the one-step hydrogenation process. LCO and atmospheric gas oil (AGO) mixtures were hydrotreated in a continuous flow reactor over a commercial NiW/SiO2-Al2O3 catalyst. LCO was mixed with AGO to avoid the fast deactivation of the catalyst but the hydrotreating of pure LCO were performed too. Elemental analysis, HPLC analysis and simulated distillation of the products were carried out. During 58 hours on stream stable hydrotreated products with significantly lower amount of polyaromatics, nitrogen and sulphur, respect to the feedstock, were obtained.
